FAQs

1. How much does it cost to have Best Life Ministries come to deliver a conference at our church?

Best Life Ministries receives its payment from the ticket sales. Best Life asks for a minimum number of 45 tickets to be sold, and travel/lodging fees may be applied. There is a refundable down payment fee of $50.00 to host the event that is paid at time of contractual agreement. If the church chooses to cancel for whatever reason, that $50.00 fee is non-refundable. If the conference is completed, that $50.00 will be returned to the church. 20189’s ticket price is $32.00. There is no exception to this price. If the church chooses to lower it’s ticket price, the church will pay the difference per ticket to Best Life.

2. Do you require a minimum number of tickets sold?

We ask that the church works at acquiring a minimum of 45-50 conference attendees. If you are a smaller church, we encourage you to partner together with other area churches as an exciting women’s ministry outreach. Or, feel free to discuss with us, having the conference on a smaller scale.

3. What is the price of tickets?

Our mission is to provide help, hope, and healing, and to encourage women, so we want to make sure that we’re available for women who need us. For 2018, our ticket price is $32 per ticket, to make it affordable for women to attend.

4. Is lunch included?

We ask the church to arrange the lunch/refreshments. If you’d like to charge attendees for lunch, we recommend you have a “meal ticket” fee or ask church members to donate food, or take a free will offering for this . Many churches have an off site lunch hour, and it is up to the attendee to provide their own lunch.

5. What is recommended for lunch/refreshments?

We recommend that the host church provides morning coffee & rolls, lunch, and water & coffee in the afternoon. Typically, event lunch items have included items like sandwiches, salads, and soups. Desserts, especially those of the chocolate variety, are always welcome at women’s events! With more individuals having food allergies, we recommend that you offer something gluten free, or ask those registering to bring their own lunch if they have food sensitivities.
